Joel and Victoria Osteen’s daily October 31, 2017 devotional: He Will Multiply You

Today’s Scripture: "And I will make My covenant (solemn pledge) between Me and you and will multiply you exceedingly." - (Genesis 17:2, AMPC)

Topic: He Will Multiply You [Tuesday October 31, 2017]

God is in the multiplication business. It doesn’t matter what your need is today, God wants to increase you!

One time in the Old Testament, God simply multiplied the sound of four men’s footsteps and caused them to sound like a mighty army. When their enemies heard them coming, they took off running. Thousands of people, thousands of troops running for their lives, scared to death, thinking they were being attacked by a massive army, when in fact, it was just four people.

Open Heavens 31 October 2017: Tuesday daily devotional by Pastor Adeboye – Prayerlessness Disallowed

Topic: Prayerlessness Disallowed — Tuesday 31, October 2017.

Memorise: Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. – Matthew 26:41

Read: Mark 13:32-37 (KJV)

32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

Teens’ Open Heavens 31 October 2017 by Pastor Adeboye - Be Courageous

Topic: Be Courageous [Tuesday 31, October 2017]

Memorise: "Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee." - Deuteronomy 31:6

Read: 2 Chronicles 32:7-8

7 Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with him:

8 With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.

Joyce Meyer's Daily 31 October 2017 Devotional: Change Your Definition of Prayer

Topic: Change Your Definition of Prayer [Tuesday October 31, 2017]

In the days of His flesh [Jesus] offered up definite, special petitions [for that which He not only wanted but needed] and supplications with strong crying and tears to Him Who was [always] able to save Him [out] from death, and He was heard because of His reverence toward God [His godly fear, His piety, in that He shrank from the horrors of separation from the bright presence of the Father]. — Hebrews 5:7

Have you ever heard the biblical phrase “pray without ceasing”? To many, that sounds daunting and impossible. How could anyone bow their head, kneel, and pray 24 hours a day?

TREM’s Daily 31 October 2017 Devotional by Dr. Mike Okonkwo - Your God Will Deliver You

Topic: Your God Will Deliver You — Tuesday October 31, 2017.

“My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.” (Daniel 6:22 KJV)

When Daniel was thrown into the lions’ den, the king declared: “…Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.” (Daniel 6:16 KJV) Child of God, you will be delivered, no matter the situation. By spiritual mandate, I intercept every spiritual conspiracy against your life. It will never stand. The God that delivered Daniel will deliver you. I know that you have prayed and fasted through this entire month, and I know that incredible things are already happening, and I declare to you by the authority of God’s Word, that you are coming out.

Topic: Don't Play Dead [Tuesday October 31, 2017]

From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. - Matthew 11:12

The Amplified Bible translates Matthew 11:12, "...a share in the heavenly kingdom is sought with most ardent zeal and intense exertion."

Topic: Hope for the Future [Tuesday October 31, 2017]

For our citizenship is in heaven; from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. — Philippians 3:20 (NASB)

If you are moving to a new home, you want to know all about the community to which you are going. And since we will spend eternity some place, we ought to know something about it. The information concerning heaven is found in the Bible. When we talk about heaven, earth grows shabby by comparison. Our sorrows and problems here seem so much less, when we have keen anticipation of the future.

Topic: How To Experience Eternal Life Today [Tuesday October 31, 2017]

John 17:3 "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."

Text: John 17:3

In order to fully understand what eternal life is, it is helpful to understand what it is not. Eternal life is not living forever. Everyone lives forever in either heaven or hell. Also, eternal life is not living forever in the blessings of heaven as opposed to being tormented in hell.

Topic: Ruth’s Story — Tuesday October 31, 2017.

Read: Romans 10:1–13, Bible in a Year: Jeremiah 22–23; Titus 1

Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Romans 10:13

Ruth cannot tell her story without tears. In her mid-eighties and unable to get around much anymore, Ruth may not appear to be a central figure in our church’s life. She depends on others for rides, and because she lives alone she doesn’t have a huge circle of influence.

Topic: Total Purging Required — Tuesday October 31, 2017.

Text: 2 Kings 18:1-12

Key Verse: "He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan" (2 Kings 18:4)

When Dan Edwards was ordained as a missionary, Robert Murray McCheyne, in a letter, advised him, "In great measure, according to the purity and perfections of the instrument, will be the success. It is not great talents, but God blesses so much as great likeness to Jesus. A holy minister is an awful weapon in the hand of God."

Topic: Teach Thyself! Judge Thyself! [Tuesday, October 31, 2017]

Basic Scriptures: Romans 2: 16-24

Hypocrisy is “claiming to have moral standards or believes to which one’s behavior does not conform.” It is pretense! In fact, the ancient Greek word for HYPOCRISY comes from the word for a stage actor or one who wears a mask.

It is not necessarily the fact that they sin that makes men/ women hypocrites, it’s the fact that they don’t acknowledge it. They don’t admit that their lives contradict what they say. They are not authentic but impostors! Consider this:

Topic — Living In Joy: A Key To Divine Health [Tuesday October 31, 2017]

Scripture: A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. Proverbs 15:13

Thought For The Day: The fullness of joy equals the presence of God.

Jesus Christ is our perfect example in life and ministry. We are created to live like Him in all areas of life.

Joel and Victoria Osteen’s daily October 30, 2017 devotional: Raise the Standard

Today’s Scripture: "Remind people to be submissive to [their] magistrates and authorities, to be obedient, to be prepared and willing to do any upright and honorable work." - (Titus 3:1, AMPC)

Topic: Raise the Standard [Monday October 30, 2017]

What do you do to honor God? A lot of times people think, “Oh, I go to church to honor God. I read my Bible to honor God. I sing and clap in worship to honor God.” And yes, those are ways to honor God, but did you know that you also honor God when you get to work on time? You honor God when you are productive each day and respect the people who are in authority over you. You honor God when you excel in your career.

Open Heavens 30 October 2017: Monday daily devotional by Pastor Adeboye – Shutting Up Mockers

Topic: Shutting Up Mockers — Monday 30, October 2017.

Memorise: The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish. – Proverbs 10:28

Read: Psalm 35:15-19 (KJV)

15 But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:

16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.

Joyce Meyer's Daily 30 October 2017 Devotional: Receiving the Power of God Through Prayer

Topic: Receiving the Power of God Through Prayer [Monday October 30, 2017]

And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit. — 2 Corinthians 3:18

Prayer is so powerful because it joins the hearts of people on earth with the heart of God in heaven. When we pray, we connect with God, and He affects our daily lives beyond our comprehension.

Bishop David Oyedepo: Enemies of Success!

Topic: Enemies of Success!

We understand from Scriptures that success is the birthright of every child of God. However, it is not just ordinary success but outstanding one. By this we mean, standing out among our peers. Also, all-round success is God’s plan for us and as such when we succeed, God is delighted; because it glorifies Him. As it is written: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end (Jeremiah 29:11).

Teens’ Open Heavens 30 October 2017 by Pastor Adeboye - Godly Sorrow

Topic: Godly Sorrow [Monday 30, October 2017]

Memorise: "Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted." - Matthew 5:4

Read: 2 Corinthians 7:9-10

9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.

10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

David Abioye's Daily 30 October 2017 Devotional - Who Qualifies For Power

Topic: Who Qualifies For Power [Monday October 30, 2017]

God’s power is not for strong people.

It is weak people that requires God’s power.

Paul, the apostle described himself as an embodiment of weakness and power.

Our Daily Manna October 30, 2017: ODM devotional – Beware Of “The 3 G’s”

Topic: Beware Of “The 3 G’s” [Monday, October 30, 2017]

Basic Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 10: 1-13; Matthew 26:40-41

There was a particular woman who suddenly appeared and told Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, the General Overseer (GO.) of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, that “You are my husband.” Adebye thought that kit was the joke of the century, so he ignored her because she was an old friend when he was in the world. The woman later went to Mrs. Adeboye at home and told her to her face, “Listen, if you don’t allow me marry Enoch, I will kill you.”Then the Adeboyes had to report the matter to the police.

TREM’s Daily 30 October 2017 Devotional by Dr. Mike Okonkwo - There Is Power In The Name Of Jesus

Topic: There Is Power In The Name Of Jesus — Monday October 30, 2017.

“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name” Philippians 2:9 (KJV)

Beloved, as children of God I believe that we have no doubt about the power that is in the name of Jesus. According to the bible, God gave Jesus a name that is above all names. The name was bestowed upon him. He also earned it when he spoilt principalities and powers. Because of this, God gave him a name and said I will raise you above principalities and powers. And when Jesus was ascending into heaven, he gave that name to the church and said in my name you shall cast out devils. But the question is how many believers are mentioning that name?

DCLM Daily Manna 30 October, 2017 by Pastor Kumuyi - Repentance Is It!

Topic: Repentance Is It! — Monday October 30, 2017.

Text: Jeremiah 32:1-15

Key Verse: "For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it" (Jeremiah 32:3).

Gipsy Smith, in his book, ‘The Bible Friend,’ told a story of a Dutchman, who got converted during his service in South Africa. The next morning, he returned the watch he had stolen eight years earlier from another Dutchman. When asked why he brought the watch back, he said: "I was converted last night and I have brought it back first thing this morning. If you had been up, I would have brought it last night."

Billy Graham’s Daily 30 October 2017 Devotional: God Is Love!

Topic: God Is Love! [Monday October 30, 2017]

Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love . . . — Jeremiah 31:3

As I read the Bible, I find love to be the supreme and dominant attribute of God. The promises of God’s love and forgiveness are as real, as sure, as positive, as human words can make them. But the total beauty of the ocean cannot be understood until it is seen, and it is the same with God’s love. Until you actually experience it, until you actually possess it, no one can describe its wonders to you.

Topic: Unraveling the Mysteries — Monday October 30, 2017.

Read: Psalm 119:97–104, Bible in a Year: Jeremiah 20–21; 2 Timothy 4

I gain understanding from your precepts; therefore I hate every wrong path. Psalm 119:104

I have always enjoyed the wit and insight of Peanuts creator, Charles Schulz. One of my favorite cartoons drawn by him appeared in a book about young people in the church. It shows a young man holding a Bible as he tells a friend on the phone, “I think I’ve made one of the first steps toward unraveling the mysteries of the Old Testament . . . I’m starting to read it!” (Teen-Ager Is Not a Disease).

Seeds of Destiny 30 October 2017 by Pastor Paul Enenche: The Life Of Faith – A Secret Of Divine Proofs

Topic: The Life Of Faith – A Secret Of Divine Proofs [Monday October 30, 2017]

Scripture: I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour. I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, that I am God. Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it? Isaiah 43:11-13

Thought For The Day: If you run out of faith, you run out of proofs.

It is a very important fact to know that God is everywhere. The fact or nature of God’s existence everywhere is known as the omnipresence of God.

Andrew Wommack’s Daily 30 October 2017 Devotional - Rejoice In The Lord - Always

Topic: Rejoice In The Lord - Always [Monday October 30, 2017]

John 16:33 "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."

Text: John 16:33

The world experiences joy and happiness in direct proportion to their circumstances. Bad circumstances produce depression and sorrow, while good circumstances produce joy and peace. That's bondage, and does not have to be the case for a Christian. Our joy is not dependent on things, but rather on the person of Jesus Christ. He is our peace and joy.

Kenneth and Gloria Copeland’s Daily October 30, 2017 Devotional: It's Your Decision

Topic: It's Your Decision [Monday October 30, 2017]

And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw [Jesus],he fell at his feet, And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live. And Jesus went with him. - Mark 5:22-24

I wonder when God is going to do something about this problem! Have you ever asked that question? If so, you may be surprised to find out that the answer depends 100 percent on you.

Joyce Meyer's Daily 29 October 2017 Devotional: Take Off the Mask

Topic: Take Off the Mask [Sunday October 29, 2017]

And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit. — 2 Corinthians 3:18

So many times we act one way on the outside, but we’re actually another way on the inside. Because we have weaknesses, faults and fears—things that we think make us less likable or desirable—we’d rather hide them from other people. So we wear masks.

17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.

David Abioye's Daily 29 October 2017 Devotional - Where Is Your Heart

Topic: Where Is Your Heart [Sunday October 29, 2017]

The true Christian character is an exhibition of state of the heart.

The proof of your heart with God is that you are doing His will.

God could testify of David as a man who will do His will because his heart was fully with God.

Coca-Cola has a formula for their drink. There is a vault (a safe) where the legendary secret for Coca-Cola is secured in Atlanta Georgia, USA. Regarded as the most closely guarded and best-kept secret, the secret formula has been closely guarded for over 125 years without leaks! Shocking! Coca-Cola inventor, John Pemberton, is known to have shared his formula with at least four people before his death in 1888.

TREM’s Daily 29 October 2017 Devotional by Dr. Mike Okonkwo - It Has Been Done

Topic: It Has Been Done — Sunday October 29, 2017.

“Blessed be the Lord and the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.” (Ephesians 1:3 KJV)

Ever before you did right or wrong, God has already moved on your behalf. In Christ, God has already blessed us. It is not about you. It is because He has moved on your behalf on the cross of Calvary. That is why you are entitled to the blessing. It is not because you did right. It is because of Christ. So what is your assignment? Say thank you Jesus. Thank you for what you have done in my life. I believe I receive. Thank you for my salvation. Thank you for delivering me. Thank you for healing me. Thank you for setting me free. That is your part. The fact that you have not yet seen the manifestation does not mean it has not been done. It has already been done!

Billy Graham’s Daily 29 October 2017 Devotional: Battle of the Spirit

Topic: Battle of the Spirit [Sunday October 29, 2017]

Let the peace of God rule in your hearts . . . — Colossians 3:15

When we examine the problems that confront us in our world today, we find that every one of them resolves into a problem of “inner space,” a problem of the dark side of the human spirit. From thousands of letters we receive, it is evident that a large proportion of the population is facing deep personal problems. They vary from person to person, but they do exist, and they are all problems of “inner space.”

John 16:33 "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."

Text: John 16:33

Jesus said we would have tribulation. He did not say that He was the one bringing the tribulation or what the tribulation would be, but He said it would come. Then He made the amazing statement that in the midst of tribulation we were to be of good cheer.

Seeds of Destiny 29 October 2017 by Pastor Paul Enenche — In Everything, Give Thanks

Topic: In Everything, Give Thanks [Sunday October 29, 2017]

Scripture: In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. - 1 Thessalonians. 5:18

Thought For The Day: In every situation we find ourselves, there is something to thank God for.

Sometime ago, I was a bit angry with myself because I did not wake up on time to pray in the morning as I should. However, before the devil could use my anger against me, I realised that my challenge was that I did not wake up on time to pray whereas there were those who did not wake up at all that day – they slept and ended in death. I also realised that I was angry that I overslept whereas there are those who can pay any amount of money in order to have a good sleep at night.

Kenneth and Gloria Copeland’s Daily October 29, 2017 Devotional: Come, Lord Jesus

Topic: Come, Lord Jesus [Sunday October 29, 2017]

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. - 1 John 3:2-3

Hopelessness. As this age draws to a close, that's a feeling that's going to be more and more common among the people of this world. But, you know, it's something we as believers never have to feel! Because no matter how much pressure comes on the earth, no matter how dark the natural circumstances around us are, we know that we have hope in the soon return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

See, the Lord your God has given you the land. . . . Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Deuteronomy 1:21

Before my husband and I surrendered our lives to Christ, we seriously considered divorce. But after committing to love and obey God, we recommitted to each other. We sought wise counsel and invited the Holy Spirit to transform us individually and as a couple. Our heavenly Father continues to help us develop healthy communication skills. He’s teaching us how to love and trust Him—and one another—no matter what happens.

The Holy Spirit is a Personality often misunderstood or misinterpreted in the Christian faith. His outstanding numerous qualities, diversities of operations and dramatic influence (as the successor of Jesus Christ) on the Apostles and the Christians as a whole, are so remarkable and worthy of considerations.

Key Verse: "There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me" (1 Kings 15:19).

"The Bible," A.W. Tozer asserted, "recognizes no faith that does not lead to obedience, nor does it recognize any obedience that does not spring from faith. The two are opposite sides of the same coin." This was what Asa, who ruled Judah for 41 years, could not realise. As a reformer, he embarked on total cleansing of his kingdom with the removal of the priests, who engaged in immorality.

TREM’s Daily 28 October 2017 Devotional by Dr. Mike Okonkwo - Hold Fast To Your Identity In Christ

Topic: Hold Fast To Your Identity In Christ — Saturday October 28, 2017.

“But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;” - (2 Timothy 3:14 KJV)

So many believers go about with the mentality that they are cursed and so nothing works for them. It appears they have more faith in the activities of the devil than in what God is doing. Some are coming to church regularly and yet they are not growing and because of that the devil has made minced meat of them. The devil does not care how long you have been coming to church, how much you donate or how many Bible translations you have as long as you don’t know your identity. The devil came to Adam to make him doubt his identity. He said “has God said…?” In other words, do you really believe what God said? I thought that he would drop that trick but he still came to Jesus and said “if you are the Son of God…” In other words, he was asking Jesus if he really believes that He is the Son of God. This was just after God openly declared “This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased”

Topic: Life’s Mysteries And Questions [Saturday, October 28, 2017]

Basic Scripture: Isaiah 3;10-11; Psalm 37:30-40

Rev. (PAPA) Ayo Oritsejafor of the Word of Life Bible Church Warri, Nigeria and who was the former president of the CHRISTIN ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA, CAN, had a bitter experience many years ago in 1995.

He was travelling from Warri, the oil city, to Benin City, a nearby State Capital for a programme in which he was to minister. He took along some of his key members, including women. Along the way, just before Benin City, there was a fatal motor accident and he lost two of them, one a happily married woman/mother. The other, a man, left behind his wife and children. Now consider the fact that they were going on a mission for the Kingdom and they were obediently following their pastor.

Topic: The Necessity Of Daily Spiritual Fire [Saturday October 28, 2017]

Scripture: And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings. Leviticus 6:12

Thought For The Day: Yesterday’s mantle cannot handle today’s battle.

The maintenance of a constant high spiritual temperature is critical to a productive spiritual life. God has no stationary position for His children. That is why Proverbs 4:18 says, the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

Topic: Enjoy the Victory [Saturday October 28, 2017]

But thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory [making us conquerors] through our Lord Jesus Christ. - 1 Corinthians 15:57, The Amplified Bible

Victors! More than conquerors! That's what the Bible says we are. I know you've heard that many times before, but today I want you to let the reality of it really sink in. I want you to spend some time meditating about what those terms actually mean.

Topic: Rooted in God — Saturday October 28, 2017.

Read: Jeremiah 17:5–8, Bible in a Year: Jeremiah 15–17; 2 Timothy 2

They will be like a tree planted by the water . . . its leaves are always green. Jeremiah 17:8

When friends moved into a new home, they planted wisteria near their fence and looked forward to the lavender blossom that would appear after five years of growth. Over two decades they enjoyed this plant, carefully pruning and tending it. But suddenly the wisteria died, for their neighbors had poured some weed killer by the other side of the fence. The poison seeped into the wisteria’s roots and the tree perished—or so my friends thought. To their surprise, the following year some shoots came through the ground.

Topic: Be A Witness, Not A Judge – Saturday October 28, 2017.

John 16:8 "And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:"

Text: John 16:8

It is the ministry of the Holy Spirit to reprove sin, righteousness, and judgment. It is not our ministry. We are simply witnesses. A witness is not the judge or the jury. A witness simply relates what he has experienced, thereby providing evidence to the truth of something. We are to witness in word and deed, to the truth of Jesus being alive in us and let God be the one who convicts. We are simply to testify to what we have seen or to what has happened to us.
